The invention provides a
lithium ion battery
core temperature prediction method based on a finite
element model, and the method comprises the following steps: 1, designing an electrochemical test experiment, and constructing a one-dimensional electrochemical model containing a
lithium ion battery electrochemical heat production mechanism; 2, designing a
lithium ion battery temperature test experiment, obtaining electrochemical parameters,
heat transfer characteristic parameters, internal thermophysical parameters and environmental parameters of the battery under different working conditions, and obtaining a temperature change curve of the center position and the surface of the battery; and step 3, based on the
heat balance equation, establishing a three-dimensional
heat transfer model having the same geometric characteristics as the battery used in the experiment. According to the experimental result in the step 2, the three-dimensional
heat transfer model is subjected to non-uniform region division, each region corresponds to one one-dimensional electrochemical model, and the heat
production rate per
unit volume is calculated by the one-dimensional electrochemical model in the step 1; introducing the heat
production rate of each area into a three-dimensional
heat transfer model to calculate the temperature distribution of the battery, and designing an experiment to correct a one-dimensional electrochemical model; 4, modifying the operation conditions and heat dissipation conditions of the battery, and calculating and analyzing the
temperature difference delta T between the center position and the surface position of the battery under different operation conditions and heat dissipation conditions by using the three-dimensional
heat transfer model in the step 3; and 5, measuring the surface temperature of the battery, and calculating the temperature of the center of the battery according to the working condition of the battery in the step 4 and the
delta T corresponding to the environment temperature, thereby realizing monitoring of the temperature of the center position of the battery. According to the method, a high-precision
algorithm model is constructed and verified by utilizing data accumulated in an earlier-stage experiment, the central point temperature which is difficult to directly measure in the battery is predicted only through real-time and easily-acquired battery surface temperature information, operation condition parameters and heat dissipation conditions, key
thermal state information is provided for a battery

safety monitoring and thermal management optimization.
